JUDO ELITE WILL RETURN TO WOLLONGONG

The 2015 Oceania Open will be held again by the Judo Federation of Australia in the warm, sunny and relaxed coastal city of Wollongong (84km south of Sydney).

The Judo Federation of Australia - who are sending a 10-strong team to next week's World Championships 2015 in Astana - can expect another increase in participation this year as judoka travel to Australia to boost their chances of Olympic qualification.

Men and women will be fighting in the two-day OJU Oceania Open, which is a Rio 2016 Olympic qualification event with IJF World Ranking List points on offer, from Friday 13 – Saturday 14 November.
